Now that the Trump admin has tried to gut the bulk of the liberal state in under 48 hours and Musk did a sieg heil on live TV can our media stop acting like DOGE is concerned with “cutting govt waste” and insisting Dems should try and “work with Elon”. idk maybe we can start using some context clues - ThreadSky

So much for the tolerant left

They should start saying "fascism" before they're not allowed to

minutemanpete.bsky.social•93 days ago

Our (media) is poisoned, corrupted, sickeningly treacherous beyond the pale. It's hard to put into words. Even as a boy with the likes of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite there was always a suspicion on my part about the news we all got? The ("corporate model") for ("the press") is deeply flawed?

mistermercury.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s always “Dems should work with and compromise with republicans” and never “republicans should work with and compromise with Democrats”

theodenking.bsky.social•100 days ago

Dems are tripping over themselves to comply too.

Mayor of Denver (a Dem!) said yesterday that they would oppose ICE raiding schools, hospitals, and churches. Maybe suing.

Today my sister (works with DPS) texted me to say there were multiple raids that removed kids from schools. Wtf! No integrity!

not sure why media would stop saying dems should try and work with elon when so many elected dems are saying the same thing

I have a friend who works at NASA and posted an email she got where they say DOGE is purging all "DEI ideology" because it's racist and has an email to report people for it. It's really fucking grim

We don’t have media outlets, we have propaganda outlets of varying degrees.

madufoices.bsky.social•100 days ago

Can you wake the fuck up and realize your media is loving and supporting the rise of the US Fascist state?

ediblepetals.bsky.social•100 days ago

They will not. It’s not about facts or reason, it’s about fear of losing access to power and becoming irrelevant

whatevil.bsky.social•100 days ago

They're not doing this shit because they don't know, they're doing this shit because they're afraid for their livelihoods.

whatevil.bsky.social•100 days ago

Not justifying that, btw. It's fucking terrible and cowardly.

ahjohnson.bsky.social•100 days ago

Well part that and part They Simply Agree With Trump

6minutes.bsky.social•100 days ago

No that's not how it works. You have corporate press, and they're going to follow corporate interests, which is to sanitize whatever the big man wants.

saltygailsnail.bsky.social•100 days ago

We are looking for Blue's clues. I wonder where they....oh. OK, so they're everywhere...

kevlarunicorn.bsky.social•100 days ago

They will not do this because too many of them are firm believers in the rule of law over everything else: decorum, civility, giving credence to charlatans to keep people watching and talking. This is their bread and butter. They'll talk Trump "presidential turns" eventually to give him legitimacy.

vaguebiscuit.bsky.social•101 days ago

Haha, good one

ahjohnson.bsky.social•101 days ago

Just spitballing here

markscrivens.bsky.social•101 days ago

Best of luck with these crazy notions.

ahjohnson.bsky.social•101 days ago

Are people allowed to use their brains and connect dots or is it important everyone write each media story like they just woke up in a new scene in Memento and the overt Nazi guy is just worried about “finding savings” in govt spending

djjkim.bsky.social•101 days ago

“You think I just want another puzzle to solve?”

bruceediger.bsky.social•100 days ago

Apparently those are the rules at WaPo, and even NPR. Can't even say Trump lies after all these years.

philipjp2.bsky.social•100 days ago

Are you playing around its obvious we are becoming facist and he's bullying everyone

cats-wink.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes. We need a citizen journalist approach. Have a story pin that everyone links research to? @ice-scream-ghost.bsky.social and I were just looking at documents for NG deployment on J6. The GOP has announced they intend to do a new investigation to rewrite the history. Anyone interested?

loudanduniformed.bsky.social•100 days ago

But AOC thinks Israel bombing Gaza is bad. So obviously the Democratic Party is made up of mostly Bolsheviks hell bent on revolution.

keeferickson.bsky.social•100 days ago

Most journalist won’t even call Elon out on the salute. They’re all scared shitless of getting sued now. Hearing Kara swisher and Scott give him a pass on pivot this week made me want to drive into the guard rail.
